Many, many years ago there was a children’s book titled “The Little Engine That Could.” It was about a little steam engine that normally switched cars in the yard, but one day was called upon to pull a long freight train over a mountain that the “other” freight engines had refused. Wonderfully, the little engine pulled it off and gained the respect of all of the “big” engines on the main line.

Meanwhile, many commercial printers that have either found their growth at a plateau, or even on a decline, have caught onto this trend and are looking into adding packaging services to their repertoires.

Let’s talk about voicemail, shall we? The original purpose of VM was noble: To capture missed phone calls so that the intended recipient could return the message and all would be right in the world. Today, VM is used as a block to unwanted solicitations, too-frequent attempts from mothers, and salespeople just trying to do their job. Does that mean you shouldn’t leave a message, that your efforts are being wasted? No. On the contrary: Message away. Say what you mean to say.

Three days in New Orleans…who could complain about that? Sure, the humidity was unbearable, but that complaint can be countered with just two words: Bourbon Street. That's not why I was there, though. The SGIA Expo was taking place -the largest printing trade show in North America (yes, even bigger than Graph Expo) - and I was there to cover it.

Selecting a term

Phrases (e.g. "cloud computing") — use quotes to keep the terms together

Twitter handles (e.g. @username) — returns those who have mentioned or replied to
given user

Bio details (e.g. vegan, Olympics, father)

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
